Islamabad: A high-level four-party consultation hosted by Pakistan has concluded, bringing together foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan to address escalating tensions in the Middle East.
The meeting was attended by Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, and Egyptian Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdelatty. Discussions focused on de-escalation, the prospects of a ceasefire, and resolving conflicts through diplomacy rather than force.
